False rumors about health care have been aired at town hall meetings, like this one in Maryland last week.
"That's not true," the Florida Democrat responded. "When someone sends you something on the Internet that sounds crazy, how about just checking it a little bit?"
The CNN Truth Squad, which fact-checks political claims, has debunked the bank-access rumor as false. Yet that claim, and others that have been disproved, keep coming up in the national debate on health care reform, inflaming an already emotional issue.
If I was Boyd I would have say "no ya goofy dumbass teabagger...that was the PATRIOT Act"..
:rofl:
